Ficlet: Locked In

I'll try and get onto the meme reveal and answers presently, but pitry gave me '7, 2 and 14 are locked in a wine cellar - one finds treasure, one gets drunk, and one is planning to escape ( Read more... )

I do like Donna's observations of the Doctors. And her and Josh's banter is just like in the series.

:-) Thanks! It made me laugh when pitry blindly put them together, and I couldn't keep from writing it out. And there had to be Josh/Donna, just because.

“At the rate you’re drinking, I’m surprised I can remember any of this at all.”

LOL! Poor Donna, stuck with two insane British visitors! I also have to agree with paranoidangel42, you did an outstanding job with the Donna/Josh banter. Not only could I hear their voices, but I could see the expressions on their faces as I read it.

Thanks! Glad it amused you. :-)

As to the banter, it is possible - and I'm only saying possible, mind you - that I may have been watching the latter series of the West Wing at a totally insane rate before I wind up spoilering myself. Or something. :-D

Never seen West Wing, but that didn't stop this being funny!

Especially this: "At the rate you’re drinking, I’m surprised I can remember any of this at all." *cackles*

By the way, it's "free rein" not "free reign" (though thanks to general ignorance the latter's the better known version of the phrase!)

:-) Since I've already done enough evil oppressing for one lifetime, I'll only say that it's well worth a look should you get the chance. Glad it made sense nonetheless.

Thanks! (And I've corrected my ignorance; that makes much more sense, but I didn't really think about it when I was writing.)

Yeah - if I ever find a spare lifetime or two - or, you know, buy a winning Lotto ticket! - I'll see if I can catch it...

Well the "reign" version is about three times more often used than "rein" but the latter is the correct version.

Yaaaay! Not only fic, but brilliantly funny fic!

(Joins in with the love for "with the rate you're drinking" line :D)

Poor Donna. Getting stuck in a cellar with one Doctor is bad enough, but with two...?

Thanks! I was not going to write fic for any of these. Some of the others are terribly tempting, too... Oh, dear.

I know, and two preoccupied Doctors who aren't trying to escape? It's your fault, mind, not mine!
